[ITK] [ITK-dev] [ITK-users] Migration to GitHub

As Matt mentioned, the main reason is because a lot of ITK users already
have Github accounts and are familiar with that environment. The idea is
really to make is as simple as possible for the community to contribute.
Using Gitlab would still require users to have an account on GitLab to push
patches. Most ITK users already have a Github account with their own
projects, and contributing to ITK just requires cloning the project and
creating a pull-request.
